My name is Liliya Hutyrchyk. I am originally from Minsk, Belarus, where I lived and worked as a speech therapist in a school.  

Photography has been a lifelong passion of mine; I have been capturing moments of my family, nature, and also worked as a model. In 2021, I moved to USA with my husband and began my professional photography career here. I began my journey as a model and I even got published in a fashion magazine. However I realized that I prefer to be on the other side of the camera. My experience as a model gives me a unique perspective, allowing me to connect with my clients and bring out the best in them. 

I have received training from the best artistic photographers in Russia. I am constantly learning and improving my professional skills. I learned valuable skills in composition, lighting, posing, storytelling, technical proficiency, and creative vision, which I continuously apply and refine through practical experience.

I was published in magazines and I am also participating in photo competitions. 

I predominantly capture portraits in natural settings to accentuate the bond between individuals and surroundings, creating images that resemble paintings displayed on a wall. I use editing techniques in post-production to meet clients' needs, ensuring the final images evoke the desired emotions and resonate effectively with viewers. If you haven’t seen my work take a look at my portfolio.

I live and work in San Jose, ready to travel around Bay Area or throughout California. I take female portrait, do family and maternity photography. I photograph couples, small weddings and capture important events for you. 

Looking forward to photographing you!
